That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.

for I wish that all men were as I myself am: but every man hath his proper gift from God, some one way, and some another.

Get back to your sober senses and avoid sin, for some of you ??and I say this to your shame ??some of you are insensible to God.

What soldier ever served [in the army] and paid his own expenses? Who [ever] planted a grape orchard and did not get to eat some of the grapes it produced? Or, who [ever] tended a flock of goats and did not get to drink some of the milk?

If Christ be preached, how that he rose from the dead: how say some that are among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But some man will say, "How shall the dead arise? With what bodies come they in?

And what sowest thou? Thou sowest not that body that shall be: but bare corn - I mean either of wheat, or of some other -

Upon some Sunday, let every one of you put aside at home, and lay up whatsoever he thinketh meet, that there be no gatherings when I come.

I want you all to speak ecstatically, but I especially want you to be inspired to preach. The man who is inspired to preach is more useful than the one who speaks ecstatically??nless he can explain what he says so that it may do the church some good.

But as it is brothers, if I come back to you and speak ecstatically, what good will I do you, unless I have some revelation or special knowledge or message or teaching to give you?

Now about the foods that have been sacrificed to idols: We know that every one of us has some knowledge of the matter. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

If a man supposes that he has already gotten some true knowledge, as yet he has not learned it as he ought to know it.

But it is not in all of you that such knowledge is found. Some, because of their past habits with idols, even down to the present moment, still eat such food as was really sacrificed to an idol, and so their consciences, because they are overscrupulous, are contaminated.

To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

Now stop being idolaters, as some of them were, for the Scripture says, "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to dance."

Let us stop practicing immorality, as some of them did, and on one day twenty-three thousand fell dead.
